We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

ee a ee SPORT " : To the Exhibitors of the United States We do not believe that producers or distributors who fill the trade journals week after week with letters and controversies aiting their jealousies and hatreds of each other can be giving the cate and attention to production that you, the exhibitors, have a right to expect in return for the rentals you are asked to pay. We do not believe that back-fence scandal-mongering will _ in any way be helpful to the state of mind that an organ ization or producer should have when setting out to make big, profitable pictures for you. What a pity (and what a disgrace) it is that a really big industry (big in spite of many of the people in it) should appear before the world like a gathering of quarrelsome fish-wives. We cannot believe that the exhibitors of the country, who make possible the very existence of producers and distrib -utors, are interested in the dirty linen or dirty politics of the industry. Once again we call your attention to the fact (very striking by contrast) that the Associated Producers are working— not talking. _.
